Homemade quilts combine the warmth of a bed cover with a unique story told by the quilters from Lancaster County, PA. Every homemade quilt is as unique as the family, busy mother or Amish ladies group who uses a needle and thimble to thread stitch on the quilt. Some quilts involve hundreds of hours and thousands of stitches to create a unique patchwork quilt that will last for generations.

Over the centuries, various sorts of tactics have been developed to make it much easier for quilters to piece multi-angled quilts together. One of these tactics is named paper piecing, which is typically adopted to combine the complicated corners of the Mariner's Compass quilt. Paper piecing, as it title designates, uses an unique paper pattern on which the material cuts are sewn. The pattern guides the quilter to properly sew the pieces together so that the finalized top will lie out evenly. Methods such as this are a great aid to our quilt-makers!
